Genesis 27:33

27:33 Isaac began to shake violently ¹  and asked, “Then who else hunted game and brought it to me? I ate all of it just before you arrived, and I blessed him. ²  He will indeed be blessed!”

Genesis 30:30

30:30 Indeed, ³  you had little before I arrived, ⁴  but now your possessions have increased many times over. ⁵  The Lord has blessed you wherever I worked. ⁶  But now, how long must it be before I do something for my own family too?” ⁷ 

Genesis 47:1

Joseph’s Wise Administration

47:1 Joseph went and told Pharaoh, “My father, my brothers, their flocks and herds, and all that they own have arrived from the land of

Canaan. They are now ⁸  in the land of Goshen.”

¹ tn Heb “and Isaac trembled with a great trembling to excess.” The verb “trembled” is joined with a cognate accusative, which is modified by an adjective “great,” and a prepositional phrase “to excess.” All of this is emphatic, showing the violence of Isaac’s reaction to the news.

² tn Heb “Who then is he who hunted game and brought [it] to me so that I ate from all before you arrived and blessed him?”

³ tn Or “for.”

⁴ tn Heb “before me.”

⁵ tn Heb “and it has broken out with respect to abundance.”

⁶ tn Heb “at my foot.”

⁷ tn Heb “How long [until] I do, also I, for my house?”

⁸ tn Heb “Look they [are] in the land of Goshen.” Joseph draws attention to the fact of their presence in Goshen.
